Alan Ruck was a regular on Spin City, both pre-and-post Michael J. Fox. Then he almost died from an infection of some kind, so I think he took it easy after that...

Jeeze, Eddie Furlong was looking rough in that photo. And yes, I think that despite the number of movies he's got in the pipeline, the fact that they're B movies or straight-to-vid and/or involve Tara Reid is a pretty solid indicator of washed-upness. I liked him too, in T2 and other things, but the guy is a waste product these days.
Joining him in the "I used to be a decent actor and then I took the crazy train to Junkieville" career trajectory is Natasha Lyonne. She rocked in Slums of Beverly Hills, but these days her highest profile gig is a mention in Gawker Stalker, usually a blurb involving the words "erratic," "messed-up," "bummed a smoke from me and looked really scrawny" and "incoherent"...on a good day. On the bad one, she's spending time in central booking. Didn't she used to date Furlong? I see that worked out well for the both of 'em.
On the action movie front, there's an awful lot of straight-to-video and made-for-cable stuff on the current CVs of former action stars/current punchlines Stephen Seagal (bloated, crazy) and Jean Claude Van Damme (that coke addition did some van damage to his career, no?). At least Ahnold had the good sense to line up a fall-back career when he got too paunchy and saggy to kick ass and realistically dodge explosions onscreen.

Don Johnson was brought up in the When I Was Your Age thread. I thought "Oh yeah! He used to be quite famous" so ran over here to put his name down. I know I wasn't the only one who thought he was The Coolest on Miami Vice. How cool is it to live on a boat? Apparently, he's more infamous these days than famous. How the mighty have fallen... heh. He really deserves a place over on the Celebrity Schadenfreude thread, too.

What are David Duchovny and Téa Leoni doing on the cover of--is it Good Housekeeping? See, I don't even care--they haven't done anything significant fame-wise in...five years? Give it up, kids. Go raise your kids like you decided you wanted to.

Good old crazy Sean Young. She was hot in the 80's, but last thing I saw her in was playing the part of a mother in a Lifetime movie.
And speaking of somebody who was in a hit show and whose career has died - Janine Turner from Northern Exposure. Last thing I saw her in was a medicine commercial, and she wasn't playing herself in the commercial either.

IIRC, she moved back to Wyoming / Montana / where-ever she grew up and is running a ranch and raising a family. Hey, it's not the heights of fame but there are a lot worse ways to end up.

What about any of that conglomeration of teenage boys that were so popular in the 80's? Jay Underwood (The Boy Who Could Fly, Not Quite Human), Keith Coogan (Hiding Out), Anthony Rapp (Adventures in Babysitting), Jonathan Ward (Charles in Charge), and David Faustino (Married with Children).
And, of course, Andrew "Dice" Clay. We're jsut too jaded to think he's crass now.

Jaimee Foxworth (Judy Winslow) is still famous. After her family used up all her earnings before she even hit 18, she promptly became a porn star by the name of "Crave." I believe she performs in the "Booty Talk" series, the absolute bargain basement of Black Porn.
What on earth happened to Jean Claude Van Damme? He was HUGE! At least once a week I dream about that counter top split in "Time Cop." He could easily have taken every action role Vin Diesel has ever had. I remember reading about him going through a nasty divorce and the next time I saw his face was in the local Walmart's $5 movie bin. Shame.

Amy Irving. I must have watched Crossing Delancy, oh, about 5000 times.
ETA: What about the actress that played Elizabeth Bennett on the A&E series Pride and Prejudice? Gah - must be on an estrogen high tonight.
